You want to display a message box or a dialog? On any of them, simply call them in correct menu event. If you have done the previous work fine this couldn't be a difficult one at all.

Sir i call dialog ..Here is code.But it is not working on the way.When i select the file name through dialog then it is not open..

Code:

 public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) { 
		 try {    
		   FileDialog fd = new FileDialog ( new Frame (  ) , "Open file...", FileDialog.LOAD ) ;  
		     fd.setFile ( "*.log" ) ; 
		     fd.show (  ) ;  
		   
		    	
		    	Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start c:\\");


		    	
		    	}
		    	catch (Exception x) {
		    	x.printStackTrace();
		    	}
		    	
		  } 
	 
}

You don't need Runtime. And why did you not stick with JFileChooser rather than the older and not so good FileDialog?

Simply let the user choose a file with JFileChooser, then call Desktop.open(<file from filechooser>).

Once again, what is so hard. I mentioned the Desktop class in my very first post and provided a link to it and still, nowehere in any of your posted attempts, has it shown up anywhere. Do you always simply ignore what people tell you?

SIr plz tell me how can i do ..

[masijade]

So switch out using Desktop.open with your Runtime stuff, using, however, the array command type, rather than the String command type (just don't forget to start it in a separate thread with an additional thread for both the command output and error streams otherwise it may hang if it produces any output), but still using the file returned from the JFileChooser.

But that was a piece of information that you should have spit out a bit earlier.

The fact that you were using 1.5

We can only advise you on things that we are aware of. If we advise you to use a Class from 1.6 that does not exist in 1.5, and you are using 1.5, but don't say anything, than all we do is run around in circles with us repeating what we've already said, and you continually running down dead ends and coming back complaining.

On your second post you should have said "I'm using 1.5" rather than waiting until just now to do so.

Use JFileChooser, not FileDialog. And execute the proper command in the runtime exec method (and use the array form of it, not the string form, otherwise a file with a space in the name is going to mess it up).

Oh come on. Do you know what program you have to use to view a "chm" file (whatever the heck that is)?

If so, use that programs executable as the command with the file returned from JFileChooser as an argument, instead of "start \\" in that exec statement.

And use the form of the exec method that takes an array rather than a string (and those links I posted earlier have more than enough info for you to figure out how to use that).

If you don't know which program it is, then ask Microsoft (or whoever it is that you get these "chm" files from).
